Hey guys,
So, my friend tried to do a general cleanup of their Win7 desktop;
AMD 8320
8GB RAM
HDD
Radeon HD 6790
He disabled indexing on the C: drive because he heard that would speed up the system. He then read elsewhere that that was a bad idea so reenabled it. I've never had this turn out well in the past. Anyways, now it goes through 'Starting Windows' and then a black screen, and then plays the startup noise but no more.
I can boot in safe mode. I've found that if I uninstall the 6790's driver from the device manager I can then reboot and it works just fine. Until i reboot the PC to finish installing those video drivers and poof! It stops working again.
I did a chkdsk and, other than the USN journal taking an age; nothing seemed wrong. I didn't get a report from the chkdsk though.
Any thoughts guys?
thanks
